Success Story

KuiperCompagnons switches to Autodesk Construction Cloud with Cadac

KuiperCompagnons switches to Autodesk Construction Cloud with Cadac

Customer challenge

Making new steps in BIM: Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an established concept at KuiperCompagnons. 'Obviously' says Michiel Burger, BIM specialist and who has been working for the office in the atmospheric and historical Van Nelle factory for eighteen years. “We like to be at the forefront of new developments. In 2007 we made the first steps from 2D to 3D with Autodesk Revit. We have seen a clear acceleration in recent years. Not only do almost all architectural firms design digitally, contractors and suppliers also see the need for the transition. Digital design means fewer errors, less failure costs and more speed. Important if you know the building task and the necessary transitions to sustainable, energy-efficient and circular buildings. Autodesk's new platform offers more opportunities for collaboration. We have been working with the Autodesk Construction Cloud for a little over a year now and are very enthusiastic.”

Project goals

It is important that bottlenecks and possible errors become visible more quickly and can already be repaired in the design phase. This is done by processing the corrections and adjustments in the central model. Ultimately, this leads to better model coordination, more insight into costs and a better workflow, and more clarity for the later user. At the moment it is still often the case that the contractor or subcontractor makes adjustments on the spot. Such as moving the piping and drains or placing a window frame. However, the models of the architects and all other construction partners in the project will then remain unchanged. This creates inconsistent information later in the process and during the maintenance and management phase. With the software of the Autodesk Construction Cloud, the design up to and including delivery can be adapted to the most current situation, also during the use phase. The user or administrator will never be faced with any surprises

Solution

One of the most important goal that we managed to achieved is having Autodesk Construction Cloud implementation. Not to mention, able to focus on Autodesk BIM Collaborate Pro which is implemented in the organizations. In addition to that, employees are trained well and workflows are optimized.

Business outcome

We had few outcomes that was measured successfully. One of it is that bottlenecks and errors are visible faster and are repaired in the design phase with better model coordination. More insight into the costs and better workflow in the organization. There are also more clarity for the later user and User or administrator will never be surprised.

Conclusion

KuiperCompagnons, founded in 1916, designs the future of the Netherlands and beyond every day. From residential areas to shopping malls, from hospitals to laboratories, from commercial buildings and factories to holiday resorts. The specialists draw up environmental visions for various authorities and examine what is possible in zoning plans. ‘So we work with many parties, all of which provide masses of data. Digital design and construction is actually the only option. The collaboration between Cadac Group and KuiperCompagnons goes back a long way. 'At least fifteen years. “This company is one of the forerunners with BIM and Autodesk software, our specialty. Kuiper is more than a customer. Rather a strategic partner with whom we shape the innovations. That also applies to Construction Cloud. It works perfectly and is certainly also suitable for smaller users. We also see an acceleration in digital construction and more and more contractors and installers are joining in.'

Henco Industries Grows with Autodesk PLM

The real growth spurt came after the acquisition in 2008 by the listed conglomerate Aalberts Industries. The extra capital and the large worldwide network of Aalberts opened the doors for Henco Industries internationally. "That's right", says Jill Gielis, "Since 2008 we have grown significantly every year. But that also has a downside. Each department had its own system and culture. Everyone did their very best, but in their own way. There was little cohesion." As a result, mutual communication left much to be desired; various Excel files, different versions of projects, circulated. More and more meetings and consultations were needed, production was delayed.

World Leader of Automatic Bus Door Systems

Public transport is growing and governments are investing heavily in electric and clean buses, so orders for door systems are 'raining'. “And not just here in Bolsward,” says Kevin Visser. “Our sales offices in Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, the United Kingdom and Germany are also doing very well. And not to forget in the US where we have a second production location.” Totally fine of course, but Ventura Systems is reaching its limits. “It is all becoming very complex,” says director and co-owner Jan Lont. “We supply to large and small bus manufacturers in Europe, Asia and America. Manufacturers constantly innovate and want to bring new bus types to the market. In addition, older types are also produced and a door of the same type and version sometimes has to be replaced. This means that we now manage an extremely broad product range. We have more than 1,600 different types of glass plates in our database alone."
